Laurie Anita Baier, 23, disappeared in the spring of 1977 after leaving her Boston home. A recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University with a double major in Russian and Spanish, she was pursuing music and was remembered for her soprano voice, songwriting, and activism. In April she told her mother she was going to a protest in New Hampshire; that was the last time they spoke. On April 22, 1977, she left the home she shared with friends without indicating where she was going.

Five days later her Volkswagen Beetle was found stuck on a remote mining road near Matagami, Quebec. The car contained her identification, shoes, and personal writings, but Laurie was not there. A communication breakdown meant her family did not learn of the car or her disappearance until September, when a friend, Grant Gurley, who had been searching for her, told them. Extensive searches across two provinces have been reported, but no trace of Laurie has been found.

What does anyone who knew Laurie or was in northern Quebec in April 1977 remember about her movements or that stretch of road?
